What is a crazy cat lover?
A crazy cat lover is loosely defined as a person who is passionate about, well, cats. They may have grown up surrounded by cats, belong to a cat-loving household, are engaged in rescuing cats, and are 100% obsessed with the adorable four-legged creatures (hence, the adjective “crazy”). Being a crazy cat lover is an attitude and a lifestyle. Many people have embraced it as evidenced by the growing cat lover culture around the world.
What should you consider when buying a gift for a crazy cat lover?
Fun fact: Ailurophile is an actual term for a person who loves cats! When selecting a gift for the ailurophile in your life, you must make sure that the item:
- Expresses their love for cats
- Highlights their obsession in a witty or humorous way
- Has some cute cat graphics or puns to remind them of the true royalty in their life
